Secretary whitney Makes an Ex-
pIanation.


Secretary Whitney today furnished state
ment as to the methods employed by the
Navy Department to procure plans for naval
vessels and machinery. Concerning the re-
ported discharge Of the craftsman Terry at
the e, Chatham dockyard, England. he says !:
which connects the Navy Depart
ment with anything clandestine in
the way of obtaining plans abroad
or the secrets of foreign governments
IL is the business of every government to
know what implements of war are possessed
by others, together with their characters
tics, and information can be easily obtained
II the necessary trouble is taken, with out
the necessity of resorting to any question.
able methods" Relative to the purchase by
tne department OF designs made by Chief
Constructor White of the English Admiralty
Secretary Whitney says White was not Chief
Constructor of the Admiralty when he made
and the department purchased the designs,
but was IN the employ of Sir William Arm
strong & Co.
Delay In Printing the Acts OF Con-
sress.:
There is considerable delay Band confusion
in the official printing of the acts passed by
the last Congress. The force at the govern
ment printing Office has been so reduced,
Doth as to the number of men employed and
the hours of work (all night work being shut
ON, that it is doubtful whether the first of
next month will see full tally of the new
Dllls passed, and there still remains most
perplexing uncertainty as to what bills did
pass and what failed. Some bills which the
PRESIDENT Intended to sign were left ON his
table at the White House when he made his
hurried eleventh hour visit to the Capitol
Other bills were signed by him in the Capt.
tol, which were not included in the report of
bills approved, made just before the session
closed; how many has not yet been Officially
made known. The printers have worked
consecutiyely up to bill Ill. From that they
have skipped, so as to give preference to ap-
preparation bills or bills calling for expendi-
lures, all of which have now been printed,
and in the future they will proceed in con-
secutive order.

The Liquor Bill.

The temperance bill has passed its critical
stages, and is now in the form in which it
will become law. No great changes have
been made in it. 1t still prescribes impris-
onment for the first offence of liquor selling
although, as Senator Heath has pointed out,
this Imprisonment clause is not so strict as
might be supposed. There are five princi-
pa, forms Of procedure under which rum
sellers are convicted: Search and seizure"
Liquor nuisance" ''single sale," ''tippling
shop, and common seller" Imprisonment
for the first offence is prescribed for the last
three; for the first two, under which many
convictions are obtained, there is only a fine
prescribed by the law for the first offence.
The bill repeals the ''five gallon cider clause
OF the law, so that cider cannot be sold in
any quantities for drinking purposes. The

Cost OF the Cattle Disease.
Before the State gets through with that

taken except to investigate into past steps
and gain basis Of knowledge on VIII ich to
proceed. And yet the expenses of getting
ready Tor a ctlon, /. e., the expenses of the
investigation just closed are seven hundred
dollars or over. This money has gone to
pay fees and expenses of witnesses and
stenographers the bills of the latter being
considerable part Of the expenses. An i'm
mense amount of testimony was taken and
the work of writing it out has been great
task, great part of it falling upon Mr..
Frank Small, the efficient stenOgrapher of
the Senate.
